SharePoint for Windows 10 Mobile Now Available

Although the platform is in a tailspin and has less than 1% market share according to recent reports, Microsoft does continue to support Windows 10 Mobile with official apps for its services and the latest one is the SharePoint App.

The SharePoint App for Windows 10 Mobile was released in Preview back in September and is now rolling out to users as a final release.

You will get the following features with the final version of the SharePoint App on Windows 10 Mobile:

  • Sign in to your SharePoint Online sites. You can add multiple accounts, and easily switch between them.

  • Quickly find your sites. Check out the Sites tab, to see the sites you frequently visit and the sites you follow. Tap on a team site to dive into it. See site activity, navigate using the familiar quick launch navigation, easily follow or share the site, and work with your lists.

  • Check out recent and popular files. In a team site, get to your recent or popular files quickly to view or share them, and have full access to your document libraries using the new integration with the OneDrive app. Edit your files easily using Office Mobile apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

  • Use the Links tab to find promoted links for your organization. Curated by your SharePoint admin for all employees, these links get you to the organizational resources and sites that you care about.

  • Search. Enterprise Search is available throughout the app and results are organized into sites, files and people.

  • Find and browse for people you work with. Tap on a user to get to their contact card and to see who they work with and what they are working on.

There are already SharePoint Apps available for iOS and Android devices from their respective app stores.

Of course, you must be an Office 365 subscriber on a plan that includes SharePoint Online to use the SharePoint app on any of these devices.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
